Basic Image to B&W Utility
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I need a small, self-contained program that opens any standard image file—JPEG, PNG, BMP and ideally most other common formats—converts it to a straight black-and-white version (no extra controls beyond a single “convert” action), then saves the result.
The workflow should be as simple as:
1. User selects or drags an image into the tool.
2. Program performs a basic monochrome conversion.
3. The black-and-white file is saved to disk (same folder by default, with an adjustable output name or suffix).
Deliverables
• Executable application for desktop (Windows, macOS, or cross-platform) and full, well-commented source code.
• Brief README covering build/run steps and any dependencies (e.g., Python + Pillow, OpenCV, or similar).
• A quick test set proving the conversion works on at least one JPEG, one PNG, and one BMP.
Acceptance Criteria
• Opens and processes all provided test images without errors.
• Output files display in pure monochrome when viewed in any standard viewer.
• No additional adjustment settings are included—conversion is strictly basic black & white.
